Come to a Retreat
All of our RETREATS – whether weekend, one day, evening or half day “Time Outs” – emphasize time for personal reflection and prayer rather than being speaker-driven. We offer biblically focused, interactive exercises designed to help you explore and deepen your relationship with God, yourself and others. We strive toward creative and inspiring nourishment for the whole person: mentally, spiritually, physically, emotionally and relationally.
Annual Women’s Weekend Retreat
“Hearing God in the Midst of the Holidays”
Nov. 5-7, 2010
Led by Patti Pierce and Sarah Harnett
God speaks! And He continues to do so, even in the midst of the often chaotic Holiday season. Isn’t it interesting that during the very season of the year when we celebrate God’s most eloquent Word to us, the birth of His Son, Jesus Christ, we find it difficult to make time to actually listen to that Word? This retreat provides a place and process for you to discern God’s voice by entering into rhythms of fellowship, silence, solitude, and guided reflection.

An Advent Retreat:
“Waiting for the God Who Comes”
A BBC comedy series is titled, “Waiting for God”. It takes place in an “old folk’s home” where the quirky characters get into all sorts of amusing predicaments while marking time until they die. It makes me laugh!
Gratefully we do not have to wait until we die for God to come to us! God has come in the person of Jesus and continues to come to us, seeking our love, our devotion–our very lives—even as Jesus offers His very life to us. So take some time to enter into this busy Christmas Season by opening yourself to God’s advent into your life through solitude, silence and prayer.
Led by Patti Pierce, Director of WellSpring.
